It’s been a while since we saw the Toy Story gang on screen but they’re set to return later this year in a Halloween TV special, with a newly released image offering fans a first look at their comeback.

The snap, taken from Toy Story Of Terror, shows Woody and Jessie bathed in a spooky green light as they crowd around Buzz Lightyear, who appears to be the source of the verdant glow.

And while it is unclear where they are, the sight of cobwebs around them would suggest that it’s somewhere far from pleasant.

The half-hour film will reportedly see Jessie – voiced by Joan Cusack – playing a major role, along with Rex the dinosaur (Wallace Shawn) and Mr Potato Head (Don Rickles).

‘We’ve gotten to see a lot of development in Woody and in Buzz and we felt it was Jesse’s turn to really show some growth,’ the film’s producer Galyn Susman told the Telegraph.

She added that the story involved the toys on a road trip with their new owner Bonnie – with chaos ensuing after a flat tyre leaves them stranded in a motel for the night.

The film will also reportedly pay homage to a string of horror classics including Psycho and Aliens – while Toy Story 3 newcomers including Mr Pricklepants and Trixie will also show up.

It is due to be screened in the US in the month leading up to Halloween, with a date for its UK debut yet to be confirmed.

The Toy Story gang were last seen on the big screen in 2010’s Toy Story 3 – with speculation earlier this year that a fourth film was in the works.

However Disney have played down the reports, saying no decision has been reached on the future of the franchise.
